London’s Soul Jazz Records have put together a new double-disc compilation entitled Riddim Box: Excursions In The UK Funky Underground.
Due out on November 8, it’s essentially a “best of” funky, featuring established anthems such as Hard House Banton’s ‘Sirens’, NB Funky’s ‘Riddim Box’ (which gives the comp its name), Altered Natives’ ‘Rass Out’, D-Malice’s ‘Gabryelle (Refix)’ and ‘Pulse vs Flex’ by Lil Silva (pictured), alongside more recent mutations from DVA, MJ Cole and Grievous Angel and unexpected remixes from Radio Slave and Solid Groove (of Stereotyp and Sunship respectively).
There will also be a vinyl edition of Riddim Box, details of which are forthcoming.
